How to Build a Bluebird House

► The Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) is a member of the thrush family (Turdidae). It is larger than a sparrow, but smaller than a blue jay. It ranges from Canada to the Gulf States and East of the Rockies. With an old cedar board and some basic power tools, it's easy to build a house for this beautiful bird, providing it with a place to stay in your yard ✔

► Tips
+ Measure twice, cut once. Double checking the layout may save on materials.
+ The finest box in the world will not attract birds if you do not locate it properly. Mount the box 4 to 6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters) above the ground in an open area. If it faces towards a tree, the nestlings will have a safe target for that initial flight from the box.
+ Bluebirds are particular. The hole size and placement is critical.
+ A sheet of aluminum "flashing" material may be fashioned into a skirt for the pole. This serves to deter snakes or other predators from raiding the nest. See image at top of page.
+ Consider an alternative location if birds do not nest in the first season.
+ Clean out the old nest after the first brood, and the birds may nest two or three times in a season.
+ Get creative! Paint the birdhouse in bright colors or your favorite design. Use stamps or stencils too ✔

► Warnings
+ Wear safety glasses when cutting wood.
+ Use more than common sense when handling power tools.
+ Keep children and pets out of the workshop while creating the birdhouse. The only exception is an interested child who has promised to sit back and watch ✔
